Why Local Authority Details Matter

Your local authority is responsible for assessing and providing for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in your area. They manage EHC needs assessments, maintain Education, Health and Care Plans, and publish the Local Offer — a directory of services available to families locally.

Understanding who to contact and what services are available locally can be an important part of getting the right support for your child. ChildWize complements local authority services by offering timely access to qualified specialists online.

How ChildWize Works Alongside Local Services

Many families use ChildWize alongside their local authority's services. Private assessments and therapy through ChildWize can complement NHS provision, and our reports are designed to support EHCP applications, annual reviews, and school discussions.

All ChildWize specialists are registered with the relevant professional bodies and are experienced in working with children across a wide range of needs. Sessions take place online, so there is no travel, no waiting rooms, and no time off school.
